duuuuuude you need to airgap that shit.

ive got an isolated vlan with its own access point only accessed by my work laptop

That's not an air gap. "VLAN" already implies you have a direct physical connection between the networks, and "access point" implies you are using wireless LAN on top which is the literal opposite of an air gap.

    A VM could work, that's a good idea.

    I don't, personally, need to worry about my company seeing my personal data as they have never installed or asked me to install anything, and I don't even connect to an office network. I'm mostly trying to keep myself from being too distracted while I'm working, and from starting work projects when I have an idea at midnight.

    Keep all work stuff contained in a (encrypted) virtual machine, that's what I do.

    I work for a big enterprise, in a case like that, you seriously don't want sensitive company data on your personal PC, it's asking for troubles if you do.

    Our company PCs are Windows, I got permission to install VIrtualbox so I can use Linux that's so much better for many things. I encrypted the VM I use for work, so I can keep a copy on my personal PC when I work at home, without any risk of data breaches.

    The advantage of a VM is that it makes it very easy to separate work from home, you start it up when you work, you shut it down when you're done working and it doesn't "interfere" with your personal stuff that way.

    If you want to have some applications only available to one user you could install them as user flatpaks or AppImages.

    Personally I would just create two activities in KDE but you seem to want more separation.

    Maybe encrypted home folders so that you can't easily access one from the other. Although permissions should be enough for that.

    duuuuuude you need to airgap that shit.

    ive got an isolated vlan with its own access point only accessed by my work laptop, which is only ever used for that purpose.

    with devices now performing passive network scans, and corporate software becoming ever more intrusive i cant fathom letting a work machine anywhere near my personal shit.

    You could be a mad lad like me and run PowerShell on Linux and as long as you have the PSReadline module you'll get this autocomplete. As others mentioned fish is also a great shell and I think with oh-my-bash and oh-my-zsh bash and zsh can do this as well.

    I don't know if it has it but Nushell might also have something similar and feel a bit more natural coming from pwsh.

    tldr; You can stick with pwsh or have tons of alternative options!

    I've not encountered this for bash.

    The usual recommendation is to use Ctrl+r and do lookups when you need them.

    Auto-suggestions are built into the fish shell and easily added to zsh. I haven't explored beyond those in a long time.

    I hesitate to recommend changing shells for a newbie, but plenty of distros are using alternatives out of the box (usually zsh).

    The typical journey for a newbie power user is a switch to zsh and an installation of oh-my-zsh, and then you can install zsh-autosuggestions as a plugin.

    I wouldn't recommend fish shell to you yet, but only because you're new enough on your journey to be copy-pasting and fish isn't posix compliant which could throw you off occasionally. (This will probably bait some fish fanatics).
